In the first half there are bad spacings from Boston who try to cage Harden. Bad stats for both teams at the start of the game. Poorly constructed shots often with both teams out of rhythm. Boston putting itself in the hands of Tatum but on the other Image try to master it. Philadelphia’s defense is excellent, building a wall against Boston’s attack. Excellent free throw percentages by Tyrese Maxey of the Philadelphia 76ers. The first half is in favor of Phila 29 to 23.
Boston that at the beginning of the second quarter continues to struggle to find the right rhythm. On a foul between Harden and White the challenge is requested. There is no Challenge. It remains foul of White. Tatum suffering a block. Harden who hits Brown who is forced out due to a leak in the nose which sends Boston to the line with two free throws and also ball possession for Boston. It is a foul of Harden, flagrant one. Meanwhile, Boston tries to create a good partial to get closer to the 76ers. Boston places a partial of 6/0 and is changing the game. Then comes a double technical foul which he still sees involved Brown e Georges Niang. Incredible second half. Stepped up 4″ from the interval. To the Madison Squadre Garden you go to the interval with 25 points by Tatum on the score of Boston 55, Philadelphie 52.
In the third quarter, Boston calmly builds a partial. Starting 57 to 34 for Boston, the 76ers exited the game early. A third quarter that still bears Tatum’s signature. At the end of the third quarter he has already scored 42 points. Philadelphia little can. At the beginning of the last quarter, a reaction from Philadelphia was expected, but there was no reaction. E’ un duro ko per Embild e Harden. Philadelphia has no longer found rhythm in attack. They should have closed it in race 6 when they had the chance. Now Philadelphia could risk harsh consequences after this defeat. A challenge is requested on an interference with the basket by Tatum. Challenge not accepted. Boston wins and flies to the Eastern Conference final where he will find the Miami Heat.
Tatum 51 points 13 rebounds and 5 assists is therefore the mvp of the match obviously. We saw him throughout the game, several times, shooting threes in Embild’s face. Standing ovation at 3:32 from the audience that packed Madison Square Garden when Tatum was removed with the starting five and, in their place, the second lines.
